FEATURES

Bucket issues
Product is friendly on the nose, and super easy to use. Perhaps the whinge I want to have is about the actual bucket itself. On arrival I noticed that when I picked up the box after delivery to my place the box sounded as if the contents had spilled into the box. Cautiously, I opened up the box to find the entire bottom covered in Osmocote beads. On inspection of the buckets there were two that the lids had not been pushed down properly, allowing them to work loose, enabling the beads to spill. The lid needs to be firmly pushed down right around. Packers need to be trained better so that these problems don't occur. I was annoyed and I would think twice about ordering this product again.
